CILICIA, Flaviopolis-Flavias. Antoninus Pius. AD 138-161. Æ (27mm, 7.30 g, 12h). Dated CY 80 (AD 152/3). Laureate and draped bust of Antoninus Pius right / Laureate head of Zeus (or Cronus) right; ЄTO Π (date) below. SNG France 2178-80 corr. (date); SNG Levante 1538 corr. (same). Near VF, green patina, flan split.


From the Kelly J. Krizan, M.D. Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction [Unnumbered] (16 May 2000), lot 59491.

Both SNG France and SNG Levante incorrectly identify the date as ЄTO ΓΠ. However, this coin (which is struck from the same dies as the Levante and Paris specimens) lacks the Greek numeral 3, ETO Π. The coin in SNG Levante is poorly struck at the date, but two of the specimens in BN are sufficiently clear to see that there is no Γ.
